+        <p>The <a href="https://www.rfc-editor.org/" target="_blank">RFC Editor</a>, where the <abbr title="Requests for Comments">RFCs</abbr> that define Internet protocols are published, provides many ways to retrieve the <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SiMHTK15Pik" target="_blank">over nine thousand</a> documents. Among them are <a href="https://www.rfc-editor.org/retrieve/rsync" target="_blank">rsync modules</a>, which I had never heard of before. But most importantly, there is an <a href="https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfcrss.xml" target="_blank">RSS feed</a> and an <a href="https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfcatom.xml" target="_blank">Atom feed</a>!</p>
+        <p>I guess having that Atom feed was quite predictable, considering that Atom has been standardized in <a href="https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc4287" target="_blank">RFC 4287</a>. Also note that RFCs should now be written using a specific XML format, also defined in another RFC; <a href="https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc7991">RFC 7991</a> being the current version. It feels quite strange to me to see such "high-level" formats in an RFC; I am more used to seeing RFCs about lower-level protocols like <abbr title="Transmission Control Protocol">TCP</abbr>/<abbr title="Internet Protocol">IP</abbr> or <abbr title="Border Gateway Protocol">BGP</abbr>.</p>
